Product Information
Featuring Direct/Diffuse settings, the SpeakerCraft AIM273SR is ideal for sophisticated surround sound systems.
Designed to get the best from the latest home cinema formats
With ceiling speakers being asked to perform to much higher standards, the quality of design and engineering is more critical than ever. Object-based surround sound formats, such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro 3D demand the utmost precision and this is exactly where the SpeakerCraft AIM 7 TWO Series 2 excels.
Switch between the type of sound you want
With a front-mounted switch for Direct/Diffuse sound, the AIM273SR is the ideal speaker for high-end surround sound systems. Using the same speaker all round, you can customise the sound pattern, with the direct sound setting for front and centre speakers and the diffuse setting for rear and side effect speakers.
Aim the sound precisely where you need it
What marks these ceiling speakers out is their huge range of adjustability. Both the main woofer and tweeter array feature +/-15 degrees of pivot. Added to this, the tweeter array rotates by nearly 360 degrees – giving you unprecedented levels of sound directionality adjustment.
Powerful and precise bass
Featuring a 7 inch, aluminium bass cone, the AIM273SR delivers a deeper, richer sound than the smaller 253 model. This makes it ideal for larger rooms, higher volumes or just for when you want to hear more of the music’s lower range.
Quad tweeter array for enhanced clarity
Rather than using just one tweeter, the AIM 273SR incorporates four. Four tweeter units build up the intensity of high frequencies, which is especially important in a ceiling speaker as the top-end can often sound ‘lost’.
All-aluminium speaker array for enhanced detail and power handling
As well as the sound setting switch, the AIM 273SR builds on the 272 model by offering an all-aluminium speaker array. Aluminium is both light and rigid, making it fast to respond to a signal. It’s this speed that makes it possible to hear even the slightest changes in musical detail. A further benefit is the 25 watts increase in power handling (up to 150 watts), without the need for a larger unit.
Focused sound through WavePlane and Vortex Eliminators
Working together with the tweeter array, WavePlane technology acts as an acoustic lens. The powerful high-end response is focused across a broader area than usual, giving a wider spread of full-range sound. Vortex Eliminators reduce the ‘tunnel effect’ of traditional ceiling speakers meaning everyone in the room gets to hear all the detail.
Adjustable treble
Depending on your room’s acoustics and personal taste, you can boost or reduce the treble response by +/- 3dB. If, for example the room has a hard floor and is sparsely furnished, a drop in treble output may be desirable. The counter is often true for heavily furnished rooms with thick carpets and curtains.
Part of a family
As part of the THREE level speaker range, the AIM273SR is sonically matched to the rest of the speakers in the range. This means you can use different models in other rooms, or even the same room, without there being a change in key sound characteristics.
Perfect the soundfield in your room, with the SpeakerCraft AIM273SR.
